The main concern of economic science is to explain the Wealth of Nations. This tradition implies on
the one hand, that wealth must be evaluated i.e.: economic science must elaborate a price theory; on the other hand, money should be
integrated in economic theories because prices are expressed in monetary terms. Mainstream economic theory succeeds in price
determination (with some limits) but fails on money integration, while non-mainstream monetary models succeed on money integration
but fail on price determination. In this paper I argue that the Ayres-Martinás theoretical framework is a promising tentative to
cope with this challenge of economic science.
